Translated from Japanese Queen, "I was surprised that there were many younger generation spectators" at the Japan performance theriver.jp/queen-al-ss2014-btly/ The live video of "Born to Love You" that Queen + Adam Lambert performed at SUMMER SONIC 2014 has been released! The released video is a recording of their performance as a headliner on the main stage of <SUMMER SONIC> held in Tokyo on August 17, 2014 (Sun). This was the first time Queen and Adam Lambert had performed the song live together in this arrangement. Until then, Queen had rarely performed the song live, only a shortened version of the acoustic, if any. In front of an overcrowded audience at <SUMMER SONIC>, Queen injects Adam Lambert's talent into their legendary magic that unfolds on stage. For Japanese fans who experienced the combination for the first time, this "Born to Love You" performance was one of the highlights of the show. Also, on the set at this time, May performed "Hand in Hand", which was written by Brian May for Japanese fans more than 40 years ago, including Japanese lyrics. Also pay attention to that. While the live was a huge success, May looks back on that time as follows. "We all had the impression that it was a pretty difficult gig. The audience was great, but the intense heat and humidity made us struggle to play. But watch the footage. At that time, I thought that the tremendous energy was released and the interaction with the audience was the best." Lambert looks back: "Japan this audience is very passionate, sincere emotion has been transmitted really. I was able to feel that connected each other by. Different from the other countries, it has a something special." Drummer Roger Taylor adds: "The reaction of the audience was tremendous, and it was a big surprise to us because there were many younger generations." The performance at <SUMMER SONIC> has been available only in Japan ("Queen + Adam Lambert: Live in Japan Summer Sonic 2014" released on December 20, 2016). It was. Through the newly released live work, its vividness and exciting untouched splendor will be fully revealed to the whole world.

Interesting new info in article.. worth a read. Queen + Adam Lambert ‘I Was Born To Love You’ at Summer Sonic, Tokyo, 2014 out nowThis Queen + Adam Lambert version of ‘I Was Born To Love You’ made its live debut in the band’s show set for their first Asia tour in August 2014: a trek which saw them play Seoul, Korea and two massive outdoor festival shows in the Japanese cities of Osaka and Tokyo. The performance is taken from their headlining appearance on Sunday 17th August 2014 at Tokyo’s Marine Stadium - the main stage of Japan’s largest rock festival, Summer Sonic. It was the first time they had ever played this arrangement of the song live together. Prior to this, Queen had only rarely included this track in a live set, and only as an abridged acoustic version. Originally written by Freddie Mercury and released as the lead single from his 1985 debut solo album Mr Bad Guy, the song provided him with a decent sized hit. After Mercury's death, Queen re-worked ‘I Was Born To Love You’ for their final album, 1995’s Made In Heaven. Brian May says, “I had an obsession with the song, and had the idea to make a new version, simulating how it would have sounded if we had been able to play it live with Freddie on stage. So the Queen version was put together as a ‘virtual’ live track, using Freddie’s spectacular vocal as the central thread. Roger, John and I played our parts live, to a rearranged template I’d put together - complete with some additions to the arrangement, taking some liberties with the vocal, and even borrowing some choice Freddie ad-libs, to add to the feeling that it was a live band recording. Little did we know that years later we’d have the opportunity with Adam to finally bring this arrangement to life on a real stage."
